    Deflating loss...I'm shocked....only because I didn't think SA could make us play their slow down,old man style of play for a 2nd game. You can kind of pass off the Game 2 loss as being satisfied to "steal" Game 1 in SA. But, to get out hustled all over the floor by the Spurs on your home turf is unacceptable. Did not show up ready to play and I don't know how that happens.

    Honestly I think this whole series is rigged. They want 7 games. Rockets will win game 7 and advanced and then face the warriors for better ratings. No one wants to see old men vs fast paced warriors. After I saw live, up close and personal what the refs where calling i have no issue calling this game rigged or the refs plainly being spurs fans

    Are you really surprised they figured us out? I mean Pops? You're surprised? We figured us out already. Shouldn't be any surprise that Pops figured us out.

    Hehe, always!

    I sat in a bar full of spurs fans tonight and I knew we were done in the 1st quarter unless Harden went insane.....I could see the discipline of San Antonio's D and realize we had no plan B.

    No, DMo on the post, no Midrange Scola - no other option and they had everything covered. (We need VARIETY IN OUR GAME).

    I am pissed that I KNOW HOW TO ****ING WIN, but Morey and the Org do not.

    Can u blame him? The refs were frustrating him and most of his teammates from beginning to end.

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE wanted Spurs vs Warriors last year, but OKC said no. Spurs could say no too.

    The team was very nervous. couldnt hit a 3. bad passes. Offitials didnt help with a lot of bad calls(the call on Beverly when he steal the ball at the star of the game was awfull). Only Capela has a good game

    Pop change and has a strategy, we dont change anything. they trapped Harden

    But you're never right. That's why I'm not stressing yet.

    We let their big men beat us. We should let them shoot outside, not let them kill us inside.

    Yeah, well I wish YOU were right, but that "Never right BS" is mostly about role players and not about basketball.

    We are done.

    Oh stop. He was arguably our best player the first two games. Spurs game planned to take him out of the game, and they did. Rockets and MDA need to adjust.

    Whatever we do, hold onto Anderson...don't know what we'd do without his 100% losing effort. What is he for the series ? Road Ryno hell...he's a Nookie home or away.

    harden was def the best player in the first game with 20/14

    he was decent in game 2

    and he;s been trash most of the playoffs. he was ass throughout the okc series and he's back to being ass again.
